1. SAFETY
1.1. GENERAL SAFETY
IMPORTANT! Ensure you read, understand and apply the safety instructions before use.
9 Ensure the log splitter is in sound condition and good working order. Take action for immediate repair or replacement of damaged parts.
9 Locate the log splitter in a suitable work area, keep the area clean and tidy, free from unrelated materials and ensure there is adequate
lighting.
8 DO NOT make any modifications to the log splitter.
8 DO NOT use the log splitter for a task it is not designed to perform. NEVER attempt to split a log shorter than minimum specification.
WARNING! DO NOT force the log splitter to work beyond its specified capacity.
9 Ensure that there are no nails, screws or other foreign objects in logs to be split.
WARNING! The warnings, cautions and instructions referred to in this manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that
may occur. It must be understood that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built intothis product, but must be applied
by the operator.
9 When not in use, store the log splitter, with the hydraulic unit fully lowered, in a safe, dry, childproof location.
1.2. SAFETY OF OTHERS
▲ DANGER! The log splitter must always be operated by one person only. Other people must keep a safe distance from the log splitter
especially when it is in operation.
8 DO NOT allow another person to help you with a jammed log.
9 Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.
9 Store the log splitter in a safe area away from children and other people not qualified to use the log splitter.
1.3. OPERATOR SAFETY
9 Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings and other loose jewellery, and contain long hair.
9 Always wear safety goggles. Everyday spectacles are not sufficient protection.
9 Maintain correct balance and footing, DO NOT over-reach. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip, protective footwear.
9 Ensure unit is on level ground preferably concrete.
IMPORTANT! The ends of logs should be cut square and also if possible logs should be cut to a uniform length within the
specifications.
8 DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the log splitter.
8 DO NOT operate the log splitter with the guards or guides removed.
8 DO NOT operate the log splitter when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs
or intoxicating medication.
8 DO NOT leave unattended while loaded with a log. Always lower hydraulic pump at it’s
lowest position to minimise corrosion.
9 Keep hands away from moving parts of the log splitter.
9 Keep hands away from splits and cracks which open in logs. They may close suddenly
which could cause serious personal injury. For this reason DO NOT attempt to remove
jammed logs by hand. A jammed log is a log which is only partially split and continues to grip
the splitting wedge. Lower the hydraulic pump and release the log by hitting with a heavy
hammer.
1.4. WORKSHOP/ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY
9 Locate the log splitter on dry, level and solid ground in a suitable work area with adequate
lighting.
9 Keep the area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials. DO NOT leave tools, logs or
other items lying around where they could become a tripping hazard.
8 DO NOT operate the log splitter in wet or damp areas or expose it to rain.
8 DO NOT operate the log splitter in areas where fumes from paint, solvents, or flammable
liquids pose a potential hazard.
1.5. SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE
9 Keep the log splitter clean for best and safest performance.
9 Maintain the log splitter in a good condition (use an authorised service agent).
9 Use a qualified person to lubricate and maintain the log splitter.
8 DO NOT top up hydraulic unit using brake fluid. Use hydraulic jack oil only.
8 DO NOT operate the log splitter if damaged.
9 Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
